1960's? Dobson's Dairy - Unloading. Ros Hallett comments "I lived in Corringham Road in the 1950s and 60s. We had a regular milk delivery from Dobson's, and occasionally I was sent to the depot for an extra pint or so. I remember the smell of milk as you entered the yard, and tip-toeing round the puddles of water and milk spilt on the cobbles. I was also fascinated by the “clocking in” machine by the door… funny what you remember!!" (Courtesy Paul Simm)
